Tencent Cloud announced that it will provide a digital human production platform, which is basically Deepfake as a Service (DFaaS).
Chinese media confirmed leg According to Tencent, the service requires just three minutes of live-action video and 100 spoken sentences (plus a $145 fee) to create a high-definition digital human.
It only takes 24 hours to create. Making people has never been so fast since Eden.
Digital characters are available in half or full body, and services are available in both Chinese and English.
Some aspects such as backgrounds and tones are customizable. Using in-house small-sample timbre customization technology that relies on deep learning acoustic models and neural network vocoders, the video avoids the flat intonations and single vocal rhythms that plague traditional acoustic models. .
Chen Lei, general manager of Tencent Cloud Intelligent Digital Human Products, said that the web giant will build an automated “AI+ digital intelligent human factory” and rely on a self-service one-stop platform for production, sales and service. said he hopes
The planned Digital Human Factory relies on the Tencent Cloud TI platform, a machine learning platform that provides over 10 AI algorithms.
Tencent offers five styles for digital humans. 3D Real, 3D Semi-Real, 3D Cartoon, 2D Real Person, 2D Cartoon. You can create customized Q&As for your digital humans, turning them into a kind of deepfake chatbot.
Tencent seems most keen to host live-streaming infomercials using these works. This is a popular form of e-commerce in China.
Local media also reported that Tencent can train doctors, lawyers and other professionals.
What could go wrong?? leg wonder.
Images created by AI are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from real images. Examples include the recent AI-created image of him of the arrested former US President Donald Trump, and the pope wearing his jacket by designer White Puffer.
Deepfake pro-Chinese propaganda videos featuring newscasters were recently essentially indistinguishable from the real ones, at least at first glance.
And while realistic AI image generators are readily available, creating lifelike AI videos has proven difficult. At $145 per video, Tencent has made artificial spokespersons much more accessible.
As you can imagine, Beijing has already embarked on regulating deepfake technology. In January, the China Cyberspace Administration (CAC) began requiring “deep synthesis service providers” to prevent their AI algorithms from being abused for fraud, deception, disinformation and other illegal activities.
“Services that provide the ability to generate or significantly alter information content, such as intelligent dialogue, synthesized human voices, human face generation, and immersive realistic scenes, should be used to avoid confusion and misperception by the public.” No organization or individual shall use technological means to remove, alter or obscure the associated marks,” the CAC said at the time. ®
* Of course, this actually happened, but the fake images of Trump wrestling with the police were more dramatic than reality.
